Bird

It is said that art imitates life. That phrase couldn’t hold truer than for a play like Bird...The actors are extremely well cast. Johnson’s portrayal of a disabled person is thoughtful, and is played with no clichés. He’s an extremely gifted actor who will have you believing...

Puzzle Piece Theatre

Inspired by true events, a grandmother becomes suspicious when her grandson strikes up an unlikely friendship with a local businessman who has recently arrived in the neighborhood. A challenging exploration of social and cultural differences, human exploitation and crimes of opportunity set close to home in a city just like Detroit. What happens to people when good motives get caught up in bad circumstances? Puzzle Piece presents the WORLD PREMIERE of BIRD by MICHIGAN-BASED playwright, Kristin Andrea Hanratty.

Bird is a taut piece of dramatic theatre that offers thought-provoking and intelligent entertainment. Nicely realized in this Puzzle Piece production, it’s got a superb cast and features an exceptional performance by Dan Johnson.
